THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Assembly No. 70, Knights of Labor,
met in Mankato Sunday, and delegates
to the number of about 60 were present
from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Saltwater,
Winona and other points. The meeting
was held with closed doors and little is
known of the action taken. Master
Workman McGaughey, to.whom the
branch organization in this State owes
much for his conservative management
and earnest work, refused reelection
from the fact that his time is almost
wholly taken up with the National La
Dor organization.
A noticeable feature connected with the
delegates in attendanceIwas the fine ap
pearance and gentlemanly demeanor o.
those in attendance. They were all fine
looking Intelligent men, who had every
appearance Of earnest workers. No con
yention was ever held in the city tha
was conducted more tremendously, and
no delegation ever visited here whose
conduct was more becoming and com
mendable.
President Sprague, Vice-President Oh
son and Secretary Boon. of the STATE
Farmers Alliance were also present anC
participated IN the proceedings. Dele
gates were selected to attend the con
vention at Cincinnati in February, ant
other matters of interest to the organiza
ton was transacted.

JOHN DILLON .

He is coming to Mankato on the oath
and 25th, and will afford the people Of
Mankato two entertainments Of a rare
character. Dillon is too we'll known to
the people of Mankato to need any in
troductory remarks in this connection,
but ali will agree that he is, as the Des
Moines, Qowa), Register aptly puts it,
an old friend and one, too, that never
grows tiresome. He Is the very quntes-
cence of humor, and in this play, which
was especially written for him, he ap-
pears at his best advantage. The char
acter of Ferret Waugh, the fearless and
saucy little hoyden, is admirably sus-
tanned by Miss Louise Haven. She gives
a remarkably good piece of acting and
always wins the hearts of the audience.
Mr.. Heege as the lover and Mr.. Lem
ming as the lawyer are represented as
equally good in the presentation Of their
respective parts. There is not poor
actor in the company. All are good
and some are excellent. Dillon does
not carry poor company with him.

THE CARNIVAL.

The st. Paul ice show is in full blast,
and If we are to believe newspaper re-
ports (Which no christian person would
think of questioning the affair is simply
blaze of crystal elegance, frigid gran
deur and spangled Ice Kings. And as
the people of Mankato are ever interest
ed in partaking of good things-even
though they be served on ice-the ques-
ton is how many are going to the shows
An effort has been made to secure Pull
man car for an excursion to the crystal
city, and it can be had if there is suf-
ficient number willing to JOIN in the ex-
pense. The coach will cost, for two nights
and one day, about 500. 1t will accom-
modate fourty-eight people, which would
levy tax of a trifie over 500 each.
Add this amount $2.65 for railroad fare
and admission to the grounds. and you
have the expense for the round trip save
and except the cost for meals and such
other luxurIes as the appetite may crave
If there is not sufficient number of
volunteers to fill the special coach, we
understand that several parties will go
any way, and will probably do so next
Wednesday night or Thursday morning,
and take in the great pyrotechnical dis
play in the evening of the day last named.
1t has been suggested that parties who
desire to Join the excursion leave their
names at The FREE PRESS Office, or at
Geo. +. Brett's store.

THE BEE-KEEPERs CONVENE.

The published notice calling conven-
ton for the purpose of organizing a
Bee-Keepers' Association brought out
a good delegation of those interested in
bee culture, and the report ofthe Secre-
tarv indicates that profitable meeting
was had. The convention met in Good
Templars' Hall on the I4th, and organ
lied by electine Mr.. II. W. Mendenhall
as chairman and Mrs. Geo. M. Ray as
secretary.
Mr.. Greenwood stated the object Of
the meeting to be to form permanent
association in the interest of bee-keep-
ers for the interchange of ideas In meth
DDS and experience, for a more thor
ough acquaintance with bee culture, and
for the many advantages to be gained in
exhibits at fairs, etc., arising from united
efforts. After Mr.. Greenwood had fin
ished his remarks, the election Of oiiic'
ers followed, and are as follows
President-H. w. Mendenhall.
Vice President--W. ii. Sharp.
Secretary-Yirgil Dunning.
Tre1surer-E. W. Powell.
President Mendenhall was authorized
to appoint committee of three to draft
a constitution and bylaws To be submit
ted at the next meeting, and as such
committee he selected Messrs. Powell,
Sharp and Bradley. A general discus
sion was then INDUCED in touching upon
the more important features to be in
corporated in the constitution, but no
definite action was taken, 1t being
deemed best to leave the matter with
the committee. The subject of fees was
also freely discussed, but it was deemed
best TO leave this question open until
the next meeting. The child was named
"The Minnesota Valley Bee-Keepers'
Association" and it is intended to include
within its membership all persons en-
gagged in bee culture IN the Minnesota
Valley.
The next meeting of the association
will be held at Good Templars' Hall in

DEATH OF LITTLE JOSIE JoRGEN
SEN.

Little Josie Jorgensen, the beautiful
and beloved daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. Jorgensen, of this city, died on sa-
turday morning, after an illness of only
two days. Josie was one Of the sweetest
little girls that ever lived, and her hap
ply disposition and cheerful nature made
home ever bright and all who came in
contact with her forget care and worry.
In the school room she Wen the love
and admiration of her teacher, and her
playmates were drawn to her as by an
electric current. Her sudden demise
leaves vacancy that cannot be filled,
and the parents, in their great loss, have
the deepest sympathy ofthe entire COM
munity.

DULUTH. MANKATo AND SOUTH
ERIN MINNESOTA RAILROAD.

A representation of business men in
terested in the Mankato & Albert Lea
and the Austin, Mankato & st. Cloud
railways met in st. Paul on Friday and
adjustsd their differences, and COM
promise was made. A consolidation OF
all differences was affected and the
name adopted is the Duluth, Mankato
& Southern Minnesota Railroad Com
pany.
The line of the company is from Du-
luth to st. Cloud, thence TO Litchfield,
on to Mankato, thence to st. Claire, to
Alma City, to New Richland, to Geneva,
to Austin, and a branch from Alma City
southerly to Albert Lea. The capital
stock is $1,000, 900, and the directors are t:
John +. Meagher, John A. Willard,
Mankato; w. II. Twyford, Geneva; De-
los Young, Alma City; A. III. Hender-
son, Vivian; A. Knox, d. B. Smith, Aus
tin; John X. Howes, Duluth; J. f. How
ard, G. S. Atwood, st. Cloud; Erasmus
Cross, Sank Rapids: Frank Hall, w. p.
Sergeant, Albert Lea; L. Scott, Free
born; w. Ii. Greenleaf, Litchfield; w.
III. Carson, New Richland.
The officers elected are:
President-Jno. +. Meagher.
Vice PresideRt-J. K. Haywood.
Secretdry-Jno. A. Willard.
Ireas,rer-W. Ii. Corson.
Each one of the stockholders sub
scrlbed 81 900 capital stock. The at
tOrney of the Company is NJ. d. l.. Col
lester, Mankato, and he drew up the ar
ticles OF incorporation. The reason for
taxing this action now is that the Com
pany will ask this legislature to transfer
to it the franchise of the old Austin,
Mankato & st. Cloud road, now held by
the Milwaukee road. This franchise,
originally held by the New Jersey Con-
struction Company, was transferred to
the Milwaukee road, and as the time
soon expires in which 1t holds good, the
new Company wants its life renewed
and to gain possession of it. The road
Is to be built within five years, and
though now purely local affair, will
probably in the end be purchased by
the Milwaukee, or perhaps the Manito-
ba road.
The meeting held TO bring about this
adjustment and to harmonic the differ
ences existing between the various
points along the proposed route, was
enthusiastic, and cannot but result in
accomplishing the end sought. The
line, besides traversing one of the rich
est agricultural sections in the State, is
one that will certainly direct the atten-
ton of enterprising railroad companies,
and it would seem that there will be
little or no trouble in securing its con-
struction within the five years limit
prescribed in the articles of incorpora-
ton.

is to be hoped that our people will show
their appreciation of the cause by lib
eral attendance. The Bishop is an en-
tertaining speaker, and as his lecture is
made up entirely of personal reminis-
cences and observations those who at
tend can count upon receiving vast
amount of practical information. The
price of admission has been placed at
the low figure of % and IS cents. Re-
served seats can be secured at Griebel's
shoe store. In this connection We are
requested to announce that the Bishop
will officiate at st. Johns Church Sun
day, morning and evening. In the eve
ming confirmation will be administered
to several candidates.
